I believe the Wilmington Chakers bears the distinction of being the closest commercial theatre to Technicolor's Wilmington, OH facility.

It will be interesting if DHL/Airborne decides to move from Wilmington:

DHL, which operates an air hub and package sorting facility at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, is considering consolidating that hub with a larger one it now owns in Wilmington, Ohio, just 50 miles to the north, said DHL spokesman Jonathan Baker.

DHL bought Airborne Express last summer and insisted it would keep both its Cincinnati facility and a similar operation at Airborne's Wilmington airport. But the company changed its tune after the closing of the $1 billion deal and an ongoing consolidation of other DHL operations.

To the casual observer, Wilmington, in southwest Ohio's Clinton County, is a quiet community surrounded by farms and bucolic scenery. And that's what it is -- in the daytime.

At night, it's another story, one that bespeaks strongly of Ohio's superior transportation advantages. In the wee hours, Wilmington becomes a fast track. More than 100 cargo planes take off each night for destinations around the world.

Wilmington is the site of one of the most impressive logistics projects in the nation -- the 7,000-employee central sorting facility and aircraft maintenance complex for Airborne, plus its Commerce Park for companies with time-sensitive deliveries.

Among companies at the 2,400-acre airport/Commerce Park are Technicolor, which cleans, repairs and distributes films, Fort Dodge Labs, PC Connections and Rentrack, a supplier of videos to Blockbuster.

The latest news is that DHL is adding something like 900 jobs and they are staying in town. There are DHL signs around town advertising new jobs.

We do have the distinction of being the closest theater to the Technicolor facility. It is located about a mile from our theater and about two miles from the drive-in that Chakeres also operates. In fact, I'm pretty sure they often pick up prints and take them directly to the Wilmington Technicolor facility, although I could be wrong about this. I do know that Airborne handles the Technicolor prints. We have special morning shows for Technicolor a few times a year and they actually provided us with an extra Shrek 2 print this year for one of their employee special shows. Even interlocking our two largest auditoriums which share a booth, we couldn't support the amount of tickets they bought out -- I believe around 600 -- so the extra print was essential.
